CLUBS, PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT. A BAG to put the clubs in, also a matter of concern. Sun visor, sunscreen, golf balls, golf ball marker, proper shirt and pants, glove, laser rangefinder… Countless hours are spent flipping through catalogs and online review sites researching almost every bit of the golfer's tool kit. How odd, then, that when it comes to shoes so many golfers go on looks alone. Far from merely keeping your feet safe from a hot parking lot, proper golf shoes anchor you to the ground, which helps improve stability, which helps you not put your drive into the woods. Next time you set out to shod your dogs consider shoes from the following companies all of which have more to offer than just laces and a pretty tongue. Your swing will thank you. 

OTABO
The bespoke shoe goes high-tech with Otabo Custom shoes. The Florida-based company uses a computer scanning process that captures more than 200,000 data points to create 3D digital models of your feet. The scans, together with your fit preferences, shoe model of choice and custom design options, are sent to the factory. There, your custom golf shoes are made from the finest leathers and materials available – one shoe to the best fit of your left foot, the other to your right. Otabo even offers custom branding on the sole, perfect for personalizing the ultimate custom golf gift. Fit-to-finish takes about 10 weeks, which is quite reasonable considering yours will be the only pair like it in the world.
